JungleVine® grows without cultivation, irrigation, or chemicals. Khmu artisans in northern Laos gather JungleVine® from the forests around their villages, strip the pulp from the fibers within, and then spin the fiber by hand before creating bags. From vine to crafting, it takes about two weeks to design each piece. The Khmu share their beautiful, sustainable bags with the world through the JungleVine Foundation.

The JungleVine Foundation’s mission is to connect remote isolated tribal communities with the global market by promoting their natural fiber handicrafts. Our work reduces poverty in rural Laos, preserves an ancient craft, and mitigates global warming through the promotion of organic vegan JungleVine® fiber.

"I love my three bags. I use them mainly for groceries and library books and they are great. Keep up the good work. I have been to S.E. Asia and am happy to support a project which benefits the people." Alice - Minnesota
